I first met Brandon in the winter of 2013, around the time Purdue Barbell started and at the very beginning of my competitive powerlifting experience. The FIRST DAY I ever met him, he cleared up all my most glaring squat-problems and deadlifted 500 lbs in a regular workout in a commercial gym with a horrible bar. Ever since then, things have only been MORE impressive. Having experienced Brandon’s personalized programming myself, I can say, without a doubt, that he can and will take you to the next level. Even further, as the Founder and President of Purdue Barbell, I can say I’ve seen him work with many more than myself. He brings together a personable character and a knowledgeable expertise.

All of his programming and coaching is rooted in science, but, more importantly, has been tested in the trenches by himself and at least several of his clients. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Brandon, both as an athlete myself, but also as the leader of Purdue Barbell.
